Sugru. Eh?

Sugru is fantastic stuff - I wrote to them.  Here's what I put.
"I just had to show you... what I did with my Sugru...
I'm a keen crocheter, and am often re-winding and reclaiming yarn - I use a nostepinne (google it), but rather than an expensive wood-turned one, I use a garden dibber, with the end sawn off.
The trouble with them is, that not only are they rough, but they have these annoying grooves which snag the yarn.
I decided, once and for all, to fill them in with Sugru.
Job done - but I discovered an amazing 'side effect'.  In removing the excess with tissue, as recommended, the rough grain was filling in nicely, and I ended up with a lovely, super-smooth, almost 'laquered' finish.
Fantastic.
You can see the 'before' on the cut off end, in between the two dibbers.
All the best,
Jill"
